Qualitative Validation Methods

Description

Qualitative methods for model validation.

Details

This package contains functions for a qualitative model comparison. Common quantitative deviance measures underestimate the similarity of patterns if there are shifts in time between measurement and simulation. Qualitative validation methods are additional methods to validate models, especially useful to compare the patterns of observed and simulated values.

For a complete list of functions with individual help pages, use library(help="qualV").
